    I'm glad someone is mentioning how genuine and caring Manny and Glottis' friendship is.

      There's also something about Plana's performance that makes Manny sound likable regardless If he's being sarcastic or not

    I know it might seem tedious and it isn't introduced in an obvious way, but I love the dialogue transcript feature in this game. Not only did it help with language learning, but it also gave you an option to review dialogue that was said earlier and/or that you skipped over.

    Great game. I love Tims work. Day of the Tentacle is still my favourite adventure game!
    Yes that was LA. Tho I found out that there IS an unwinable situation in Grim Fandango. But that is unintended! Just put the scythe back where you trapped the waiter and you don´t have your scythe later on!

    That bug was always there even in the original.

    I totally agree with you! The story and originality of the setting are what holds up the best. Gameplay does feel dated and holds back the experience.

    • @CloudConnection

      It's a shame the gameplay is so antiquated, because I know it will prevent some people from experiencing the story and setting. Maybe this is a game that's better to watch a full walkthrough of rather than play? I still love it regardless.

    hey I recently finished the game for the first time on the steam remastered version and I never encountered any bugs or glitches of any kind in 23 hours

  • @abdullahaa8290
    @abdullahaa8290 5 лет назад +3

    Indiana jones and the fate of atlantis is the best for me. They should remaster it for PS and XBOX as the story is amazing and the gameplay is wonderful indeed👍🏻

    I seriously think the flowers could be taken to the other side if they had a ticket and were taken on the train. Because we see a ticket still drawn to the flowers of a sprouted good guy. Meaning he should still be on the train. My favorite line in this game is *to weak...to grind.*

    My favorite Lucasarts was the Star Wars games they had really polished them well

      I remember having a lot of fun with Shadows of the Empire's opening level, but never really progressed beyond that. Really need to pick that one up again.

    Tim Schafer and that crew from Lucasarts are some of the best game developers on the planet.

    And Grim Fandango is the reason Space Quest 6 never was released! Even tho Monkey Island went on...

  • @Conformist138

    I tried to play this more recently, and went in blind. Gave up without ever leaving the parking garage. I've concluded that, for me, these kinds of games always sound more fun than they ever actually are, and I shouldn't be lured by "beloved classic" labels. They're from an era where 90% of the difficulty is from just not knowing what to do and wandering around aimlessly for a frustratingly long time.

      I felt the same way, but my love for the art style and Tony Plana (who I saw from Ugly Betty) made me keep going and used online guides just to hear more of the voice cast and see more art.

    Tank Controls are perfect for Adventure games, they're a little slower and move at a relaxed pace and that type of control scheme works.

      Yeah so dull and pointless and such dumb puzzles. I wouldn't blame anyone from quitting the game at this point, which I bet a lot of kids did back in the day.
